It is the by-product of capitalism, consumerism, perhaps, The New Hollywood.
Not love, we are all born for love, just romance.
Lounge music played, progression of chords performed but to soothe your ears, a convention.
Wine glasses cheered, candle lights, an ambiance reproduced.
Her conversational eyes and a smile of sunshine - no money can buy,
his suit and tie, a reflection of honnête homme
selectively, we chose to be.
As classic as it is, we sing praises, write of poems - exploit art, via expression.
A treasured vehicle, we claim.
Structure, is what I gain from my education of sociology. Mass produced is what defines most of us, even emotionally.
How true am I from my core, that speaks none of mimicry and imitation.
Unidentifiable, therefore not a standard.
I am born normal, physically and outwardly a norm.
Less do I know, of which that cannot be seen, is left to be discovered.
My disability, for instance.
Albeit an ardour for love.
